How far you go in life depends a lot on how high you reach.

We’re the oldest Franciscan university in the country. And like our namesake, St. Francis of Assisi, we’ve chosen a road of mission, purpose and values. Simply put, we provide a solid, liberal arts education to students so that they can make their way—quickly—into a world already in motion.

We encourage our students to reach higher—to go far into the world—carrying a message of genuine concern for peace and justice wherever they go. And to put their talents to work for a better world for everyone.

At Saint Francis University, you’ll discover that wherever you want to go, and whatever you want to do, it’s reachable if you start here.
